Lay down beside me
Let me tell you everything
Hush now hush now
There's nothing I can say
Words escape me like
Inhaling underwater
Choking back the waves
As Im drifting ever further
Opening a lock is hard to trust
When the catch and key has gone to rust
Truth value and music are lost
Sealed inside this weathered box
The early hours falling late
Where have they gone?
What's the time what's the date?
Clocks keep ticking on
I don't know where I am
I am truly lost
Leave me be, its all the same
Its what I remember most
Blank canvass scarred in light
Empty head full of colour though not bright
Eyes see though absent sight
Body strong yet spent of might
Can't put my finger on it
The needle in the hay
The solitary point of it
There's nothing I can say
Sand on the ocean floor
Mud upon the river bed
Leave the rusted lock upon the door
Some things are better left unsaid
